If there is a camera that does not
intimidate the beginner, and yet gives him or her the technology and
features to shoot good photos, then it is the Canon EOS 1200D DSLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm IS II and 55-250mm IS STM lenses.
This combination of a fully loaded DSLR with two versatile zoom lenses
cover wide-angle to telephoto perspectives taking care of most subjects
one might shoot.
* High Resolution Photos and Full HD Video: The
1200D features an 18 megapixel APS-C-sized CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4
image processor to produce high-resolution still imagery and full HD
video recording with notable low-light sensitivity to an expandable ISO
12800.
* Big Resolution: The
18MP resolution, in my opinion, is perfectly adequate for all kind of
shooters without burdening your desktop / laptop with data-crunching
stress that an otherwise very high-res camera can do. It’s also optimum
for minor cropping of images in post-production
* Optical Viewfinder: The
optical viewfinder is a pentamirror type and is quite bright for
viewing. The LCD is 3.0″ 460k-dot monitor for image monitoring and
review as well as menu navigation. Very useful in sunny conditions too.
* Let the camera act smart: Scene
Intelligent Auto mode is available to be employed for optimizing camera
settings to best render the scene at hand on auto-pilot (whenever
needed) and a helpful Feature Guide can also be employed to display a
simple description of each camera mode and function to aid in learning
the intricacies of the of the camera which are not many for a patient
learner. Exmple: If you are shooting landscapes, switch to the Landscape
mode – and let the camera figure how to get the blues and greens right.
* Lenses to shoot landscapes to wildlife:
Included
with the camera body is the standard zoom EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
lens, which provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 28.8-88mm.
One aspherical element is incorporated within the optical design to help
minimize chromatic aberrations and an Optical Image Stabilizer system
has also been integrated to reduce the appearance of camera shake.
Beginners will love this to avoid blurry images, especially when
shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Extending the combined zoom range even
further, the EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6 IS STM lens is also included, which
offers an equivalent focal length range of 88-400mm. Well-suited to use
with distant subjects, this lens utilizes an STM autofocus motor to
acquire precise focus while remaining silent and smooth for video
shooting. The lens also features image stabilization for reducing the
appearance of camera shake, something that becomes more apparent at the
longer telephoto focal lengths.
The all-rounded still and video
capabilities of 1200 D are complemented by the two zooms that cover all
focal lengths from 28.8mm- 400mm which is a huge sweep for any kit. This
essentially means that you are equipped to negotiate photographing any
situation including landscapes, architecture, full-length group
portraits and wildlife.
* Beautiful to handle: On
the level of ergonomics 1200D is a light machine to handle for anyone
but there’s a fair amount of power packed in a small package. You can
even shoot with one hand. The camera can shoot at 3 fps (frames per
second) on continuous mode and there are 9 AF points to take control of
focussing needs without having to change the composition or do
focus-locking.
* Filters for creative effect: On
the aesthetic front there are five different creative filters that can
alter the mood and visual effect of any particular scene. Creative
Filters include Grainy Black and White, Soft focus, Fish-eye effect, Toy
camera effect and Miniature effect. You could be shooting great images
without needing to work on them in PhotoShop.
For a beginner who wants to graduate to a
complete SLR kit without any obligation to upgrade in next two years or
so this is a deal to seriously consider.
Get started with your journey in DSLR photography!
